January 27, 201213 yr «Wow, girls ! - I did not know one could take it so seriously about magazines !»Well, lol, isn´t taken seriously, at least in my case is like a hobby, I always liked fashion and photography (fashion and in general), and like some people, for example, collect stamps, model airplanes or whatever, there are people who like all the "sociological" and cultural fashion -"Fashion isn´t confined to clothes. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what´s happening", Coco Chanel-. This is how I conceive it personally. Big kiss, Provolone - ELLE Spain, november 1996 (I think the pics are from Paco Navarro). like you, the first mag i bougth (too much years ago) was very important for me: the ads, artistically shooted, and the portraits, were what i more liked and after that... i wasn't be able to stop! it's the only thing i spend some money constantly well, you know, this and books, pics, or my paint stuff.............. and it's a hobby, very peculiar, i know, but it's the thing i more like it and, think for a moment, when i begun keeping pics, ads, covers, etc., didn't exist the internet so it was n o possibility of being up to date in each moment, so, for me it's still more valuable a good shoot in paper @ Cositas & Prejean Oh, I see - you both are right, and I fully understand that being a (wise) collectioneur might be quite of a pleasure indeed. To me, Sastre is a different thing, actually not related to magazines. She is a genuine aestethic and philosophic experience, in fact just as an artwork - you see what I mean -. Best, PS is this one young enough to your taste ?

January 27, 201213 yr Yes, @Provolone, I understand your concept of Inés as a philosophical idea, like for example, Griet in Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. An idea of sweetness, innocence, mundane and supreme beauty at once, youth and candor... as Botticelli's Venus or Dante's Francesca... the idea of classical beauty embodied in one physical.
January 27, 201213 yr Yes, @Provolone, I understand your concept of Inés as a philosophical idea, like for example, Griet in Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. An idea of sweetness, innocence, mundane and supreme beauty at once, youth and candor... as Botticelli's Venus or Dante's Francesca... the idea of classical beauty embodied in one physical. IMHO beauty is not exactly the central concept, nor candor sweetness or whatever else in that range. It is rather the sheer astonishment that such perfection could exist somewhere some time in the universe (just as for the original meisje met de parel sitting in the Mauritshuis in the Hague - I guess everybody having looked at such a painting can only remain deeply shocked, and wants to be a better person after). Well, that's not very different for Sastre - and her rapid fading now adds to that perception.
January 27, 201213 yr Yes, I guess it´s an inaprehensible concept, emotion or feeling, however, I love your description («... I guess everybody having looked at such a painting can only remain deeply shocked, and wants to be a better person after »). Stendhal Syndrome (not in a medical sense, but ethical and aesthetic).

Yes. Stendhal is for sure a very appropriate reference.

January 29, 201213 yr In the picture, Inés with Enrique del Pozo (Spanish singer) at the gala "Por fin, 1992" filmed in Lloret de Mar. @Cositas, I read that you attend at the Expo´92: I still remember when TV broadcast a catwalk, I think in the Italian pavilion (the stage mimicked the steps of the Piazza di Spagna, Rome), which included Monica Bellucci, Marpessa Hennink and Inés Sastre (apparently also were Karen Mulder, Carla Bruni, Claudia Mason and Yasmin Le Bon, though I don´t remember... I think the clothing that was exhibited by Giorgio Armani, among other designers). I even remember the music that rang during the show, Ain't No Sunshine (When She's Gone), of Bill Withers. She looked so young there!

She looked so young there! Souvenir, souvenir.... Here another recall. This was at the French TV, probably by 1993 or 1994. You had different young people quietly sitting around a large table (do not ask why the hell I was absent-mindedly watching that kind of program ) being interviewed because they had some original life. Each had his or her own little story to tell. Well, I remember very distinctely that brunette, smiling and somewhat shy girl explaining in turn, with some accent and not so much fluency that she was doing some castings, and studying as well some obscure stuff at the faculty. Today, I'm pretty certain she was Sastre (at the time I did not even know that she existed) - She was a discrete beauty this day (flat hair and no too much make up), as the purpose was no to show off, it was just a talk among youngsters - yet almost 20 years after I can still recall vividly how she was radiating incredible grace around the table. All the other people were just fascinated - and myself also, probably. PS always wondered also how her comrades at La Sorbonne could study more than half a minute in the day when she was there...
January 30, 201213 yr Interesting theory, #Provolone, before the university made don´t we both go to college as now, that seems to go to a Victoria's Secret fashion show instead of to faculty to study (at least this is so in Spain, especially in some career). I think Inés is a bit "parodied" herself with her cameo in the movie "Sabrina" (1995), appearing sideways on the terrace of a cafe in Paris. She always radiated a special light.
